I’ve tried to find out what a Beastly Circuit is without success – could you explain what it is?
Many thanks

GuestHi there, here are some examples I have been using, they origianlly come
form Alwyn Cosgrove, and are called beastly due to the configuration of
the Three 6’s, the number of the beast, from the book of the Apocalypse,
I think, 666, so 6 exercises, performed for 6 sets of 6 reps on each,
